Ericho's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[[KOA] - Introduction]

Good for ghetto

I do in fact find it hard to believe that you actually managed to cram all of that into one minute. This is in fact a good quality, because it shows how skilled you are with rhyming. The song consistently keeps up its pace and that is hard to do in such a hard time. My only complaint is that it does come off as being a little silly so fast. It definitley has enough good qualities in it to recommend. It is interesting just by the starting music with the really good use of string instruments and throughout.

[NGHH KO1 - Exceptid vs Vasheli]

Fairly good

This was a good song, but I am not sure if it was a song that I would recommend. I think the weakest point might be that it is too short and there is even some blank stuff left at the end. I have heard a lot of gangster songs, so it is starting to feel as though it is nothing unique. It does at least live up to the expectations of big fans of these kinds of songs. The lyrics were pretty good, just needed some more creativity in them. Another good part was the beat which does a good job of constantly being in good measure.

[Back to My Rootz]

Nice to include the lyrics

I could not understand much of this, but I can say that of most submissions here the first time I hear them. My only complaint is that it did seem kind of stressed at some points. It is still a wonderful submission, because it is pretty much just made of awesome. It is another great example of softer background music contrasting with regular ghetto music. All the voices and everything are pretty realistic, too. The words spoken are really creative and send an interesting message.

[NGHH - Sample Battle '10]

It got better

I was at first thinking was this was one of the lesser songs here, but it got better as it went on. Now that I am listening to it again, I am learning to appreciate it more. What is most important is that you manage to change the pace of the song for the good of it. A lot of submissions here do not have lyrics, but it seems like you short of made a compromise. It was also nice of you to list all of the things you did to make this song. I believe the main emotion this song gives off is fear or creepiness.

GunstarGreene responds:

Thanks dude, I was working with limited resources when I made this - didn't really spend my time well or organize the track to my approval, but if a few people dug it, that's cool. Thanks for the genuine review, I'm glad it grew on you.

[Nghh - Fight For Ng - [KOA]]

Quite twisted

This was a very unique song in that in the beginning it seemed just like something that would be part of a lullaby. As soon as the words came, it was nothing like that in the least. It still manages to hold that softer feeling with the music with the harse language. It does seem like something that would be made by a professional rapper, but it is even about Newgrounds! It is great that so many people worked (or simply the ones you listed). I still can not understand the lyrics, but that is no problem.

[3 shades of darkness]

Lyrics?

I found it a bit odd that something entirely instrumental would even have lyrics. This was still a very fun song to listen to, due to the fact that it was so, well, smooth. It seems like something that would show up in a cowboy or Clint Eastwood movie. It is not a song that makes you think of action, but rather one that makes you think of tension. It is always interesting to have different ways of approaching genres. It was an interesting way to experiment with your creativity here.

Sikanth responds:

thanx a lot for ur input... that is the intention, i put lyrics there coz i want people to have their own tune for the song in their mind.... and then i'll put the song later and see peoples reactions :D

[Sonic Advance: Angel Island]

Decent song

My biggest complaint with this song is that I am unable to recognize it as being that similar to Sonic the Hedgehog. That is mostly my fault for not having really played the games when I was younger. It is still a good song, although it could have used a little more variety. Its strongest points is that it manages to keep up its emotions the entire time. It also has a really cheerful feeling to it as well as using a cool style. While not one of my favorites, I can tell why it is fairly popular in its own right.

[Zelda Metalized]

Great Zelda tribute

I really like this song, because it is a Zelda song where I know where it originated from. As it was obviously a great and classic song to begin with, it is hard to go wrong with making any kind of remix of it. This sounded like it was trying to get into hard rock. I am not the biggest hard rock fan, but this works because it still manages to be faithful to the original song. It appears to be the exact same melody, only with a different tune. I am glad I am starting to understand the difference between the two.

[Zelda : Midna's Lament Remix]

Nice song

"The Legend Of Zelda" has obviously given us a lot of great music and this is good music. It is not the best LOZ song I have ever heard on Newgrounds, but it does a good job of expressing itself. I like the use of the violin and all other instruments in this. I think this gave off a pretty peaceful feeling, but it also gave a feeling of quaintness and hope. You seldom see these two styles being used in the same song. It almost even came across as something that you would hear at a hoedown!

[Zelda Memories]

How soft

Normally, I would not rate this so high simply because it needs more variety, which I always look for in a song. This was a good exception, as it proved to be a very well done song. It works simply because it is so peaceful and you have such a great story behind making this song. I am glad that it has become popular enough to have hundreds of reviews. Now that I listen to it more, it probably has more variety than I thought at first. I love the way the violin and all of the other instruments are used.
